Re: General Character Strength Ranking Thread

I don't count Godzen....

1. Yamamoto
2. Aizen- because he is the villain

it gets kind of tricky from here because of different variables of the plot like Shinji not using bankai mainly for plot progression, Kisuke not using bankai for whatever reason along with Shunsui and Ukitaki and Yuroichi, Isshin not showing his zan except for one overly done technique.... so I will just go with what I have seen.

3. Unohana- she is the second oldest and has a good reputaion

4. Gin- because he damn near took out Godzen but failed because of evil villain factor....damn fan boi's

5. Kisuke- because I know he has WAY more up his sleeve than what was shown

6. Isshin- He brought Aizen to his limit

7. Shunsui and Ukitaki- I believe they are equal in strength and no one knows any of Ukitaki's abilities...

8. Yuroichi- she caved Godzen's chest in

9. Shinji- he has a badass zan

I need to stop because this is ridiculous, alot of the people's names I said are hard to determine actual strength becuse nothing has reaaly been shown. Kubo is ridiculous with the whole Hax Godzen thing and the #1 strongest is Ichigo because he is the main character and alot of people's powers and strengths have been down graded because of plot requirements.... I mean honestly and logically Kira should have one of the strongest zans but is basically useless because of reiatsu, Shinji should have one of the strongest zans but was made to look useless and weak because of Hax characters and Kubo needing a bailout because he realized Aizen had no chance of surviving..............

4.
Other factors are unrevealed characters like zero squad and royal guard. Another character that should honestly be stronger but is not is hanataro because of reiatsu. Also since he vizards were taken by Hax requirements before anything was really shown it is hard to place who is stronger than who with logic.

- Yoruichi is plently strong just using shunko, but I don't think that's enough to accurately judge her level. At least we know she can dominate Soi Fon. Shinji didn't really show much. I'm not sure how much the mask increases his power, or what his level is without it. Gin's bankai is strong, but I'm not sure how strong. Whether the characters in tier 2 can avoid it or not could be the difference between him being in Tier 2, 3 or 4. Also his regular combat skills are pretty much unknown.

- Kenpachi is below Hitsugaya because of his fighting style and his lack of mid and far range attacks. He holds back too much and he only has his skill with his sword. Hitsu is more versatile. He's a genius, that can fight at any range and has several different powerful attacks.

- IMO Histu is not the same level as Harribel. The only reason he could beat her is because the match-up was favorable. Harribel's attack speed, and power are far above Hitsu. If Hitsu fought someone close to Harribel level that wasn't a favorable match-up (Ulquiorra R1) he was would probably lose.

EDIT: I updated the list and added Tousen, Barragan and Yoruichi:

Tier 1
Aizen (Hogyoku),

Tier 2
Aizen (Pre-Hogyoku), Yamamoto,

Tier 3Urahara, Isshin, Yoruichi, Shunsui, Ukitake, Tousen

Tier 4Starrk, Barragan

Tier 5
Soi Fon, Byakuya, Harribel

Tier 6
Ulquiorra (R1),

Tier 7
Hitsugaya,

Tier 8
Komumura, Kenpachi,

Tier 9
Noitora,

Tier 10
Grimmjaw,

Yoruichi is in Tier 3 because her extreme speed and shunko. Also she hasn't had to use shikai or bankai. I think it's safe to assume that Tousen's shinigami skills are below Byakuya's and Hitsugaya, but his haxx bankai and mask more than make up for that. IMO the boost Tousen got from his mask bumps him up a couple levels. Tousen was weaker than Komumura before using the mask, afterwards he could he easily toss him around. Assuming the speed and power boost he gets from the mask are proportional I think he could match those in tier 3. He also has high speed regeneration, a haxx bankai and his ressurection.

Barragan and Starrk IMO are on the same level. I think they both can beat anyone in Tier 3 if they're using only shikai.

I would have to disagree with the whole Komamaru and kenpachi equal strength thing........ do you seriously believe that???? I don't see Komamaru using an eyepath that drastically decreases his reiatsu and still fighting the arguably strongest espada... I kno Ulq fan's will kill me but guess what I am a Ulq fan too and Yammi is definitely one of the strongest. But back to my point, you should rearange the list to put Kenpachi with Byakuya, which if i am not mistaken they are both fighting Yammi, or bring Byakuya down to Kenpachi and....according to you the strong ass Komamaru who could hold his own against an increasingly stronger Yammi hehehehelololoolololol....smh ludacris is what it is.

I know this wasn't directed at me, but I hope you don't mind me answering.

-Komamura probably isn't physically stronger than Kenpachi, but Kenpachi doesn't have a bankai nor shikai, so Komamura can arguably bridge the gap in pure strength with that.

-Yammi is not definitely one of the strongest, at least according to what he has shown so far. He's 0 espada because he has the largest reiatsu but it was pretty obvious that his battle capabilities are very low when compared to some of the stronger characters.

Re: General Character Strength Ranking Thread

1. Yamamoto- No one has or had the power to defeat this guy from what was told and shown. Only possibility is this new Aizen and Ichigo of course at mangas end.

2. Aizen- No explanation needed but I'm going to say one anyway. Aizen fought the whole gotei and forces and Isshin, Urahara and Yoruichi. He was still successful after this event. Then later on got betrayed by the only one he considered in aything really, I'm not surprised if he is actually stronger then Yama.

3. Unohana- No feats to show forth, but I truly believe she's stronger then anyone else not including the above two.

4. Isshin/Shunsui/Ukitake- More will be shown on Isshin later right now this is just hype. Shunsui showed why he is where he is, he defeated the primera with a shikai, that's based on children games. Ukitake hasn't shown us anything yet but much like Unohana and Isshin he should be powerful. I would go as far as to say that if not for his illness he's stronger then Shunsui.

5. Shinji- To me he is the only vizard besides Hacchi that has proven themselves. He is the leader of the vizards afterall. I think with mask he can even be ranked with the above three.

6. Urahara/Yoruichi- I don't know what the big deal is with these two, but plot seems to say there around the same level.

7. Tousen- This is Tousen with all his Hollow powers and stuff. Even though he wasn't impressive either, and I think most captains could have defeated him there it was just for plot reasons to lose to Komamura and Hisagi.

8. Byakuya/Gin- I'm just biased when it comes to them.

Honorable mentions are Kenpachi, Hitsugaya, Love, and Kensei.

One of the best list I have seen. But I personally would not put shinji above urahara and youruichi.

Re: General Character Strength Ranking Thread

Most captains should be able to do that. Collateral damage isn't remotely impressive unless it's that spirtual pressure resistant stuff, and even that's arguable. It's usually an issue of control that keeps people of a high enough level from doing exactly that all the time. For instance, a pissed off Hitsugaya apparently emitted enough power to instantly explode a room the size of a building by the mere act of drawing his sword. It goes without saying however that the feat itself was only caused by the lapse in control due to his being so supremely pissed of at that moment, and shouldn't be any real indicator of anything. Captains are just that potent in that regard.

I added Godzen, Ulquiorra (R2), and Ichigo to the list. Godzen is pretty much invincible with the Hougyoku. Ichigo's bankai form is even more powerful than Godzen, just not invincible. Ulquiorra (R2) has HSR, and lanza. Lanza probably can OHKO or 2HKO anyone in tier 4.

Re: General Character Strength Ranking Thread

Nice list but I think Soifon is a bit too high here. Yeah, her speed and CQC are high but she lacks the versaitility to be as high as that.

Consider her versing Uliq R1 - This guy was mocking Bankai Vizard Ichigo in speed, if Soifons speed advantage is reduced or rendered uselss (vs. Baraggran), she has very little alternatives... she wont even be able to attack Uliq R1 at range, and need to go in close where Uliq also loves to decapitate and puncture your chest...

Byakuya has at least great Kido (deffense, attack, incapicitate), and the power of bankai to warrant a high placement.
